Recyclability of plastic waste extracted from electrical devices

Abstract

The mechanical recyclability of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, high impact polystyrene, polycarbonate and polypropylene extracted from electric equipment waste was studied. The secondary raw material was tested on a broad range of working characteristics, such as melt flow index, thermal properties as well as tensile properties of injection molded samples were detected. Parameters were compared with parameters of unprocessed counterparts presented in the literature.
